Manchester City legend Vincent Kompany retires from football

The Manchester City legend, 34, left Manchester City to become player-manager of Anderlecht last summer.

Kompany won four Premier League titles, four League Cups, and two FA Cups at Man City.

His wonder-goal against Leicester late in 2018-19 to help secure the title in his last season at the club will go down in Etihad folklore.

After leaving City – with over 350 appearances to his name – Kompany took the job as player-manager at Anderlecht, the club where he began his professional career.

But after an horrific start – the club’s worst in over 20 years – he stepped down.

Frank Vercauteren took over as head coach, but endured a frosty relationship with Kompany, according to local reports.

Vercauteren has now left Anderlecht and Kompany will take over as head coach once again.
